You have to set a hoverCallback.
set hovercallback "jmolscript:set hoverlabel @{\"this is atom \" +
_atomHovered}"
for example, displays "this is atom 3" when it is over that atom.
You can also put anything in a Jmol script function and use that to define
hoverlabel. The function is run after _atomHovered is set but before the
hoverlabel is read, so you can, for example, use:
function checkhover();
set hoverlabel @{"xyz="+{atomindex=_atomHovered}.xyz};
end function;
set hovercallback "jmolscript:checkhover";
etc. etc.
